Aisling's blog

We spent part of Sunday evening over at Joe's (with Dave's family there too). We found out that both Aedan and Dave's new puppy Bella really liked hanging out on Brett's long board. So, here are just a couple fun pictures.

Here are some video clips i got of the Worthen Reunion games we had. I only have a couple for now, but i'll add more as i find time to upload them to youtube. (Videos take so LOOOONNNGGG to upload.)

Brett, Aedan, and I were lucky enough to have Utah visitors over Memorial weekend. James, Heather, Manny, and Eliane all came to visit and to see the baby! They fell in love with him. (I'm pretty sure they wanted to take him home with them.)
We had lots of fun. Here are some pictures!

Okay. So, i think we bought "Hailey" (the rust bucket that doesn't run) back on valentine's day. What a great present from a wifey, huh? Me letting Brett buy an old broken down car for all that was in our bank account at the time. haha.
ANYWAYS. She has been Brett's project. Every Saturday when he gets home from work, that's what we generally spend our time doing: figuring out how we can fix up this car and make it run.
First, Brett replaced all the fluids and switched out the oil filter. He had to take the gas tank off of the car to clean it out, and then he found a hole in it, so he had to get that welded up. SO, after that, we were hopeful, thinking that she might start. A couple turns of the key in the ignition, and it sounded like she wanted to go...But then gas started shooting out of the carburetor. Oh, sad day. :( Brett was so heartbroken. ANOTHER thing to fix before the car could start.
Brett is so smart, though. He got a cheap rebuilt kit, and for about $20, it's like we have a brand new carburetor now. (It looks so new, partially because i cleaned off all the metal parts, and now it's nice and shiny. When you open up the hood, it seems to glow, it's so clean!)

After Brett rebuilt the carburetor, it was time to try again and start Hailey up. :)

FINALLY! SUCCESS. The engine was running great, no leaks or fluid shooting out of anywhere. So, Brett thought he would take her around the block for a drive.
NEW PROBLEM: Apparently there is something wrong with the transmission. She doesn't want to go into drive or reverse or any of the gears. Hmmm... So, i guess we have some new things to work on. He'll ask around and figure what ne needs to do next for the transmission problem and see if we can't figure things out.
Oh well. When Brett is feeling down about the car, he says he'll just sit behind the wheel and start it up and remember that he was the one that got her to run. :)
Maybe, just MAYBE, we'll have Hailey driving before Aedan is here. :)

Yes. I know. We are all Twilight junkies.
Jen, Stacy, Lauren, Emily and I all went to the midnight release of the new book in the Twilight saga.

It was the most ridiculous concentration of vampire fanatics ever! In the Borders Bookstore, there were over 1,000 waiting for the book. LUCKILY, we were in line with our reserved numbers in the 260's. Everyone who wanted a book had to have an official wristband with a number on it, and then had to stand single file (for a LOOOONNNNGGG time) as they shuffled groups of people through a winding line around the parking lot and the book store. Crazy! I felt like i was in line for a disney land ride.

What a crowd, and what an awesome book.
I haven't finished reading yet, but i know that Jen and Stacy (and i am also told that Ryan) devoured it the moment they got their hands on it!

Here are some fun pictures from the midnight event:
